I recommend cutting out pieces either one at a
Quick start available at end of instructions time or one page at a time so that you do not
have too many loose pieces at once.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR
LIGHT FIXTURE
The easiest way to light the figure is to use a few
LED touch lights, though you’ll need at least 2-3
to get sufficient illumination. Simply place them
underneath the figure.
The following instructions explain how to build Use the wire cutters to cut the tap off the end of
your own, brighter fixture. the extension cord (the end without the prongs).
(See Figure 2)
Please be careful when working with electrical
wiring. Consult with experts if you are
uncomfortable or uncertain, and never work
with wires that are connected to a power source.

better suited for your project. I suggest the

This last page is for the tail. It's slightly easier to complete the tail and attach it to the
main body as a single piece, though some builders may find this not to be the case. If
you have particularly long fingers, it may be easier to build as usual.
